What strikes me about the event is the ease with which authorities were able to lockdown entire metropolitan areas, preventing US citizens from leaving their homes in order to go to their jobs, to doctor

’s appointments, to the grocery store, or to walk their dogs.

This is a precedent. It sets the stage for martial law, although it is not being called that, and for daylight curfews. Is this what Homeland Security meant two years ago when its leader said the agency had shifted its focus from terrorism to domestic extremists?

All of this is happening because of 4 or 5 deaths including one of the alleged perpetrators of the bombing. The response of the authorities is disproportionate to the crime.

Lockdowns of metropolitan areas because of a hunt for one guy that might be a patsy? This is a new development. It is ominous for our future as a free society.

The older of the two top suspects in the Boston bombings this week had been *under FBI surveillance for at least three years*, his mother said in an interview with Russian state television broadcaster RT.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in a shootout with police [it says here] a day before his brother

’s capture yesterday, was accessing extremist sites and was closely monitored by the FBI, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva said in a phone interview in English from Makhachkala, in the southern Russian region of Dagestan, posted on the channel’s website.

“

My son would never do this,” Tsarnaeva said. “He was controlled by the FBI for three to five years, they knew what my son was doing, they knew what actions, on what sites on the Internet he was going,” she said.

Russian ‘Alpha’ Special Forces team-veteran and vice-president of its International Association, Aleksey Filatov, believes there is more to the case than meets the eye. He emphasizes, firstly, that the origin and religious beliefs of the suspect, along with the specifics of the bombing, have all been *carefully pre-meditated and planned by someone within the United States* in order to distract the public from the true identity and long-term aims of the actual planners [Boston Bomber Obama and his politically-Black House gang].

“Putting a young Chechen in those shoes was top-notch professionalism in distracting everyone from the true identity and motives of the planner,” he told RT.

“The executors were chosen to confuse the American public [the World Tyrant ubermenschen] and simultaneously untie the White [politically Black]House’s hands in a way that would justify a departure from the rhetoric of non-involvement in military action on foreign territories.”

—‘They were set up, FBI followed them for years’ –Tsarnaevs’ mother to RT

As a U.S. [World Tyrant] senator, Barack Obama teamed with New Jersey’s Frank Lautenberg to propose legislation tightening standards on chemical plants. That effort never succeeded and Obama made it a recurring theme in his 2008 presidential election bid.

…

During his campaign, Obama promised to “secure our chemical plants by setting a clear set of federal regulations that all plants must follow.”

Just days before the election he mentioned it as an example of where governmental regulation is needed, despite industry pressure.

“Well, I think it

’s a classic example of special interests lobbying,”Obama told MSNBC television. “There has been resistance from the chemical industry.”

An official source said that 5 thousand Syrians have returned from al-Za’tari refugees camp in Jordan to Syria, adding that about 55 thousands have returned to their homeland in the last few months.

SANA reporter quoted the source as saying on Saturday that most of the persons who returned to Syria came through illegal border crossings as the Jordanian authorities seized their IDs, stressing that the Syrian authorities will issue new IDs to them as soon as possible.

A number of the persons who left the camp said that the Jordanian authorities are trying to prevent them from returning to their country as Jordan is confiscating about 70% of the humanitarian aid provided to the them.

They said that the Jordanian police is forcing every person to pay USD 200 if he decided to leave the camp.

Earlier, the Jordanian police fired tear gas on the Syrian refugees in al-Za’tari camp, causing the injury of five persons. The Jordanian “Khabirni” website said that the Police used force to prevent a Syrian family from leaving the camp.

Jordanian security forces fired tear gas on displaced Syrians in al-Zaatari camp in northeast Jordan, causing a number of injuries.

The Jordanian website Khaberni reported that security forces prevented a Syrian family from leaving the camp, leading to an altercation which developed into a large riot and violence in which the displaced people threw rocks at security forces who answered with tear gas.

The incident resulted in five displaced people losing consciousness due to inhalation of tear gas, while ten security personnel were injured and a number of Syrians were detained.
